Abstract
This study offers a simultaneous equations model of the birth process with seven endogenous variables: four birht inputs, and three birth outputs. Our analysis conditions on twenty-four exogenous variables. The data are taken the NLSY. Separate analyses are performed on five different groups: Whites, Blacks, Hispanics, and Native Americans.
